areas in your field Are there fin-
ger gullies on the field and silt
bars in the low areas? If so, you
should consider the need for a
grassed waterway.
Properly established grassed wa-
terways can be a profitable area.
Besides serving as a water outlet
for the field, It can be used for
hay, grass seed production, or lim-
ited grazing.
To you. the town people, grassed
waterways are important in con-
trolling erosion. Water coming
from a washing field carries many
tens of silt. If protection Ls not
provided, this silt eventually makes
its way to reservoirs and recrea-
tional areas causing untold dam-
age. The next time you are on
ycur favorite lake, walk up to the
place where the water enters. See
if there is a silt bar. This will tell
you If the land is being protected
from water erosion.

tensively by the County Commis-
sioner’s Court and it has been recog-
nized by them as a count .' prob-
lem that deserved their considera-
tion. They have hired trappers in
the past, but the results obtain-
ed was not as beneficial as they
had hoped for.
After much study the program
that they have placed their trust
in is to turnish land owners with
the "Humane Coyote Getter’’ and
let them perform their own con-
trol program. This little gadget,
which is equipped with a 38-cali-
bre hull that is packed full of
cyanide gas, cam be baited and set
along coyote runs and will do an
excellent job of killing coyotes.
Many farmers and ranchers are
using them at the present time
with great success. B F. (Red)
Meadows of the Briscoe Commun-
ity killed around 20 coyotes in a
relatively short period of time while
using these coyote bombs. J. T
Johnson who lives southwest of
Wheeler reported that he killed
around 15 during a short period of
time during 1963.
The County Agent’s office hand-
les these coyote bombs for the
County Commissioners’ Court. A
person normally is issued three
complete bombs per section of
land. They come equipped with
stokes, shellholders, firing units
and setting pliers. Stink bait is
also furnished along with detailed
Instructions on their use. The
bombs can be reloaded as they are
set off and they are returned to
the office when a person feels
that his coyote situation is un-
der control.
Caution must be taken when
the e coyote getters are set and
danger signs should be placed in
the arja when they are out. The
Cqunty Agent's affice has a sup-
ply of these signs for the public.
The Commissioner's Court feels
that the county receives more ben-

Local Chapter
Or Red Cross
To Cut Budget
Glen Ekey oi Amarillo, field
representative of the American Red
Cross, met with local Red Cross
Chapter officials at an informal
luncheon session at Wrangler Res-
taurant here Tuesday.
The group voted not to hold any
kind of fund drive to make up the
difference in the amount they had
requested from United Fund for
the current year's operation and
the amount they had received due
to United Fund falling short of its
goal.
Sam Pakan, Shamrock Chapter
Chairman, speaking for the group,
said;
"While we have decided to trim
our local budget and live with our
deficit this year, wc plan to volun-
teer our organization’s assistance
in next year’s United Fund cam-
paign by being responsible for an
entire division of the drive and in
every way possible more actively
work In the community-wide effort
to meet the annual fund requests
of all participating agencies. We
feel that the annual United Fund
goal can be met if every partici-
paing agency will do the same and
the all-out effort is continued to
get each individual to understand
what his “fair share" contribution
to United Fund amounts to.’’
The group voted to enter a float
ir the annual St. Patrick's Day
Celebration parade March 17.
